Ah nice one, I've just seen the file in the dropbox (I was quite surpirsed as I didn't expect anyone to actually download this hehe.
I've had a bit of a play with the version you have upload and while I think monitoring the buttons is the better way to do it I've found it still needs some work because.
1) The left & right buttons work fine but the lights seem to go out when you press the up & down buttons, some default functionality kicking in I guess. It'll be easy enough to add the tracking of the up & down buttons in there too.
2) Pressing the shift key and adjusting the red box position with the Button Matrix also moves the red box (if you have more than 8 tracks of course). I guess I could just trap a release of the shift key for that.
But yeah on the whole I think that's the better approach, I'll have a bit of a tinker and upload a new version soon.

Interesting about the shift keey, I'll try experimenting with delays if it gives me problems.
